The group of heroes who form the current JSA were brought together originally for the funeral of the original Sandman, Wesley Dodds. From here, they became involved in the search for the child who was destined to become the new Doctor Fate. After the successful completion of this adventure, many of those involved decided to band together once more as a force for justice. These included original Justice Society members along with the descendants, either literally or in spirit, of various other members of the original team. Since that point, they have saved the world on a number of occasions, faced some terrible moral dilemmas and had many changes in their line-up. Through it all, they remain the heroes that the others look to for inspiration. The funeral of Wesley Dodds, the original Sandman, brought together many of his former colleagues and other heroes who uphold the legacies of those who had died fighting the good fight.
Justice Society of America. "The Justice Society lives again. " - Carter Hall, Absolute Justice, Part 2 The Justice Society of America (also known as the Justice Society or the JSA) was a team of superheroes that secretly defended Earth from villains and criminal activity during the 1970s.

History of the Justice Society. Based on text written by Scott Stephen Moore It began in late 1940, when DC Comics (then actually two companies, National and All-American Comics) created a new comic book series called All-Star Comics.
All-Star included several stories, each featuring a different popular costumed character of the time such as Flash, Hawkman and Green Lantern. With its Winter 1940 issue, the third, All-Star's format changed. Writer Gardner Fox combined all the companies' primary characters in a single story. They didn't stop a crime spree or save the world. No, these heroes met for dinner. The concept of All-Star was to promote the company's second tier characters. After the Justice Society's members—indeed most costumed heroes—disappeared by the early 1950s, they languished in limbo until 1961. Since the introduction of parallel Earths, or multiverse, the DC Universe has gone through some dramatic changes. Then in 2011, DC again wiped the to create the "New 52.
" The Golden Age (1940–1951) DC Comics Announces Relaunched 'Justice Society Of America' And The Return Of Earth-Two. This weekend at Fan Expo Canada, Dan DiDio confirmed an ongoing rumor: James Robinson and Nicola Scott are working on a new Justice Society of America book — that takes place on Earth-Two. DiDio said he and Robinson were “hammering out the characters as late as yesterday,” implying it might take a few months for the book to hit stores.What makes this news so unexpected is the repeated assertions that, in the DC Universe of the New 52, Superman and the Justice League were the first publicly-recognized superheroes. Traditionally, the Justice Society was formed during World War II, and provided the heroic example that the founding members of the Justice League later emulated.
As a result of a desire to restore Superman to his traditional status as the world’s first superhero, they seem to have been written out of the continuity of Earth-Zero, where the majority of DC’s stories take place. So, how is DC getting around this? JSAHome. Justice Society of America (comic book team) Origin The Justice Society of America was founded in 1940 after several super-heroes saved the life of President Franklin D Roosevelt. Eight of the world's greatest heroes all banded together to stop Adolf Hitler's invasion of Britain and to protect President Roosevelt from a group of Valkyries summoned by Hitler. These heroes were Green Lantern (Alan Scott), the Flash (Jay Garrick), the Spectre (Jim Corrigan), Doctor Fate (Kent Nelson), Hourman (Rex Tyler), the Sandman (Wesley Dodds), the Atom (Al Pratt) and Hawkman. When US involvement in WW II seemed inevitable, President Roosevelt suggested that these costumed heroes band together as a team to defend US shores.

Justice Society of America. The Justice Society of America, or JSA, is a DC Comics superhero group conceived by editor Sheldon Mayer and writer Gardner Fox. The JSA first appeared in All Star Comics #3 (Winter 1940), making it the first team of superheroes in comic books. In the 1985 Crisis on Infinite Earths maxi-series, the series merged all of the company's various alternate realities into one, placing the JSA as World War II-era predecessors to the company's modern characters. A few unsuccessful, and often controversial, revivals were attempted, until a new series titled JSA was launched in 1999 and continued through July 2006.
A new Justice Society of America series launched in December 2006, coinciding with the new Justice League of America series, also launched in 2006. The title ended in August 2011, with issue 54, as part of DC Comics' September 2011 reboot of its DC Universe properties.
